Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Kailin's words did not comfort Yaohui. Instead, he turned around and shouted angrily.

"Don't forget that the power of the God of War comes from war. Even if it hasn't condensed into a form and is just a few fragments, the power contained in them also comes from the origin of war!"

"Really? I'm sorry..." Kailin shrank to the side, trembling because of Yaohui's powerful presence.

However, Yaohui ignored it and turned his gaze to Jiexiang again.

"So this is what you call a variable?"

"That's right." Jie Xiang nodded and said, "Although the Ares tribe has not yet synthesized the complete Heart of the God of War, with the power of the God of War in the remnant soul, they can still obtain the protection of the God of War. In such an army, every member has the strength comparable to that of an ordinary contractor. On the other hand, although we have Luo Hao in charge, once the war starts, they will definitely swallow this place up in one fell swoop with a crushing force. Then Lin Hui will be in danger."

At this time, Qian Shang stood up and said, "Yes, that's why the Saint ordered us to help. Besides, we were all born in Linhui. We know that our homeland is in trouble, and we happen to have the power to solve these problems, so what to do is a no-brainer."

"That's right." Yuxiang put her hands on her hips and continued, "But the Holy Lord has clearly instructed us to only fight and pursue the enemy, but not to participate in any operation to seize the Heart of the God of War."

"Why is this?" Yaohui asked.

"I don't know. Maybe they're worried that our identities will be exposed?" Jiexiang said, waving her hands from time to time.

"There's no other way. After all, we still have to rely on our current identities to carry out missions in the world. But with the three guardians here, I think this matter should be easy to accomplish." Qian Shang said.

At this moment, Kailin looked at Tianlang and whispered, "By the way, Tianlang, didn't you say that the Seven Stars have always been with the Holy Lord? Why don't you take this opportunity to ask about what happened before?"

"Oh, right. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Tianlang Gu coughed a few times. "By the way, two Star Envoys, since you have been guarding the Holy Lord in Mengtian all this time, hasn't anything happened in the past month?"

"Recently?" Qian Shang asked doubtfully, then looked at Jie Xiang.

Jiexiang thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, we haven't noticed anything unusual in Mengtian recently, but Lord Tianlang has reminded me. We've heard a lot about what's happened recently, and it's indeed a bit strange. The War God's Heart and the other five corrupted elements are clearly under the management of Lord Saint, yet they ended up here. I'll find a way to ask Lord Saint about this later."

"That's what you said, but it's probably just an old excuse to fool us. After all, although we, the Seven Stars, are your bodyguards, we know very little about your affairs." Qian Shang said.

Hearing the two say this, Kailin felt very helpless at this time, and suddenly felt that the Holy Lord seemed a little unreliable.

"So, have you been lonely as guards for all these years?" she complained.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Ares's troops have begun to move towards the border! Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

Suddenly, sirens blared outside the camp. Each siren struck everyone's heart. The rapid, piercing sound resonated in the air, carrying a suffocating, oppressive feeling.

Yaohui's eyes instantly became sharp, he clenched his fists, and the joints turned white from the force.

"What's going on? What happened?" Karen was panicked and confused.

"It's coming faster than I thought." Yaohui said gritting his teeth.

He ran towards the city gate in a hurry without looking back.

On the tower, Luo Hao gazed at the dust rising in the distance, already gripping the compass tightly in his hand. Thirty musketeers stood in three rows on the tower. Meanwhile, catapults and crossbowmen, large and small, stood by in the rear, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

"Mr. Luo Hao!" Kailin, Mo Yan, and the others followed Yaohui to the top of the city wall. She asked, panting, "What happened? Why is everyone on the alert?"

Luo Hao turned around and replied, "It's you. Don't worry, let me explain slowly. Just now, the soldiers from our branch who were checking the front lines reported that a group of nearly a thousand soldiers from the Ares tribe were heading here, so I sounded the alarm."

"That's how it is. I didn't expect them to move so quickly." Tianlang said.

"Yeah...ah, look, they are coming!" Luo Hao smiled bitterly and then quickly pointed to the plain in front of him.

In the distance, an army was marching with high spirits. Like the tribesmen they had encountered in the valley, they wore heavy armor and wielded weapons imbued with elemental energy. Some held shields, some spears, and some swords. Just then, a warrior on a warhorse emerged from the army.

He wielded a unique steel spear, his eyes gleaming with a chilling murderous intent. Those eyes, like materialized ice blades, seemed to freeze the air wherever they passed. He rode his horse, his head held high as he gazed at the people on the city walls. His eyes held no trace of fear, only a desire for victory and contempt for his enemies.

"attack!"

Suddenly, he raised his steel gun and pointed the tip of the gun at the city wall. At a command, a mighty army of several thousand people rushed in like a tide, as if determined to submerge the city wall in this torrent.

"Wow! They have started the attack. What should we do? Think of a solution quickly!" Seeing this powerful army, Karen suddenly panicked.

She pushed Yaoyao and Zixuan on her left and Yaohui on her right, and just when she tried to complain to Mo Yan, Mo Yan went up to her and scolded her without saying a word!

"Just calm down, you bastard! Stop disrupting the morale of the troops here, okay?"

Sure enough, this scolding really worked, and Karen immediately calmed down.

Luo Hao stood on the city wall and looked at the army that was coming like a tide without any fear. He just raised his arm and shouted, and the 30 musketeers on the high buildings began to take turns shooting at the enemy.

At the same time, the catapults behind were also buzzing. The soldiers loaded stones and ammunition onto the vehicles, ignited them, and pulled the mechanisms. Soon, thousands of gravel and fireballs fell from the sky, seriously injuring half of the enemies.

But even so, they had no intention of retreating. The officer on horseback in the distance gave instructions again, and the next second all the surviving Ares warriors began to gather elemental power, and soon they weaved a huge defense network.

They continued to advance, and under the cover of the defense network, all the offensives ordered by Luo Hao could not cause any damage to them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Luo Hao ordered his subordinates to change to crossbow carts, but even so, the reinforced crossbow arrows still could not penetrate their defenses.
